such as Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous

remedies—
1109FLAND'S GERNA.N BITTERS,
EMI
HOOELAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
PREPARED BY DR. C. Jr. JACKSON,
PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Twenty-two .years since they were first
introduced into this country from Germany,
during which time they have undoubtedly
'performed more cures, and benefited suffer
ing humanity to a greater extent, than any
other remedies known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver
Complaint, Jauud ice, Dyspepsia,
Chronic Nervous F Debility, Chronic
Diarrhoea, or Dis ease oftheKidneys,
and all diseases arising from a Dis
ordered Liver, Stomach, or Intestines.
Resulting from any Cause whatever; Pros
trail= GC. the System, induced by
Severe Labor, Hardships, Ex
posure, Fevers, itc.
There is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor
is imparted to the whole system, the appe
tite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the
stomach digests promptly, the blood is puri
fied, the cornplexic.n becomes sound and
healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from
the eyes, a bloom 'is given to the cheeks,
and the weak and nervous invalid becomes
a strong and healthy being.
PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE,
And feeling the hand of time weighing heav
ily upon them, with all its attendant ills,
will find in the use of this BITTERS, or the
TONIC, an elixir that will instil new life
into their veins, restore in a: measure the
energy and ardor of more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms, and give
health and happiness to their remaining
Years.
NOTICE
It is a well-established fact that fully one
half of the female portion of our pop
ulation are seldom T in the enjoyment of
good health ; or, to 4
use their own ex
pression; "Never - . feel well." They
are languid, , devoid of all energy, extreme
ly nervous, and have no appetite.
To this class of persons the BITTERS, or
the TONIC, is especially recommended.
WEAK 'AND DELICATE CHILDREN
Are made strong by the use of either of
these remedies. They will cure every
' case of MARASINIUS, without fail.
Thousands of certificates have accumulated
in the hands of the proprietors, but space
will allow of the publication of but a few.
Those, it will be observed,are men of note,
and of such standing that they must be be
lieved.

recommendations of different kinds of med

my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases
declined ; but with a clear proof in va

Dr. Hoolland'sGer • man Bitters, I de
part for once from my usual course, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general
debility of the ,system, and especially for
Liver Complaint, it is a safe and valuable

beneficial to those who suffer from the above
causes. Yours, very respectfully,

"I love thee,"—'tis the simplest way
My heartfelt thoughts to tell;
And tho' I told it all the day,
You would not know how well.
Thy signs point out to me my friends,
Thy signals claim my ear—
-1 feel; tho' o'er the earth I roam,
No others will be so dear.
I now address these lines to thee,
With thee, I've joined my fate,
They're written hasty, so forgive;
Its e'en now getting late,
Brothers all and dearest friends
I give you now my hand ;
In Friendship's grip, the Knights true clasp,
Ico enemy is found.
So now good-byo, for I must go,
One clasp at parting grant,
I leave you for a long, long while,
I'll no'er forget—l can't.
13e Gentle to thy Husband.
Be gentle, there are hours when he
By anxious care Is tossed,
And shadows deep lie on his brow,
By business trials crossed.
fte gentle, 'tis for you he toils,
And thinks, and strives to gain
home comforts and home happiness—
Don't let him strive in vain.
Be gentle, though some hasty word
Should fall, it was not meant,
A smile a kind word will
And many more prevent.
Be gentle, oh ! 'twill soothe much care,
And make Cads burden light;
A gentle tone will smooth the brow,
And draw an answer bright.
Bo gentle, though it may seem hard
To check an angry word ;
Yet try, and it will surely bring
' ' A full and rich reward.
Be Gentle with thy Wife.
Be gentle, for you little lcumv
How many trials rise;
Although to thee they may be small,
To het of giant size. '
Be gentle, though perchance that lip
May spenk a murmuring tone,
The heart may beat with kindness yet,
And joy to be thine own.
Be gentle, weary hours of pain,
'TN woman's lot to bear;
Then yield her that support thou eanst,
And all her sorrows share.
Be gentle, for the noblest hearts
At times may have some grief;
And Olen in a pettish word
May seek to nod relief,
Be gentle, for unkindness now
May rouse an angry storm,
That all the after years of life
-
In vain may strive to calm.
Be gentle—perfect there are nono;
Thou'rt dearer far than life;
Then husband, bear and still forbear,
Be gentle to thy wife.

CHAPTER XII
TICE EUOOAR AND THE GIPSY—TIM cnunorr
REGISTER.
A bright fire is burning on the hearth in
the beggar's wretched abode; and before
the fire, over the back of a chair, is hang
ing the wet coats that himself and his
strange companion had thrown off when
they came in.
" Sit down, sit down, my friend," said
the beggar; "and before we enter into con
versation, we will have something to
moisten our throats."
The gipsy placed' his chair beside the
table and sat down. Ho was a strongly built
man, about fifty years of age. His long
black hair hung down in tangled masses on
his broad shoulders, and beneath his high
brow a pair of dark eyes sparkled bril
liantly.
His features were well formed, and many
would have called him handsome, swarthy
skinned though he was. About the lips
and lower jaw there was a set sternness.
He wore a close fitting blouse that display
ed his deep square chest and muscular
arms to advantage, white trowsers, and a
wide leathern belt of polished leather was
buckled tightly about his waist. His voice
was deep-toned and musical, and, taken
altogether, he was a superior representa
tive of the roving race of people to which
he belonged.
" Help yourself," said the beggar, plac
ing a bottle and two cracked cups on the
table before his guest. "Help yourself."
"I seldom drink such trash, for it steals
away the senses, and makes a man a fool
oftimes. However, to be courteous, I will
take a cup with you."
"This is no trash," said the beggar, " and
I doubt much if you can find better gin in
London."
The gipsy smiled. " The best is but
trash, poisonous trash, and those who drink
it aro fools. Ha—ha—hal Only think of
man, a creature created in God's own
image, possessing wisdom and power, en
dowed with genius, and au immortal soul,
which is a part of divinity itself, pouring a
fiery liquid down his throat that steals
away his brains, and leaves him on a level
with the brute. Good liquor—pshaw
there is none of it good ; and this would be
a better world if there was none in it.
Compare a man who has never touched the
accursed stuff, with ono who is a devotee
at the shrine of Bacchus, and then extol the
name of gin. They are all fools who drink
it, and those who are honest will acknowl
edge this truth themselves. Your health,
Mr. Grabby."
" What you have said is true enough, and
if drinking gin makes a man a fool, why,
then I've been a fool all the days of my life,
and the probability is I shall die once.
—he—he I"
" Let us dismiss this, unimportant sub
ject, and talk of something else," said the
gipsy. "Please fill up my cup again, for I
have a desire to make a fool: of myself to
night."
The beggar laughed as ho complied with
his request.
" Now for business," said the gipsy, after
swallowing a cupious draught. " Have
you ever been in Hampton?" inquired the
gipsy, placing his elbows on the table, and
resting his chin on his hands.
'" Yes, and there's not a hole or corner in
the village but what I know."
" Then you have doubtless seen. the old
stone church, and the parsonage, likewise
the sexton's lodge, behind the church 7"
"I have often seen the church, and the
parsonage, but not the lodge," replied the
beggar, "but if there is a lodge or a house
behind the church, I can find it."
"It is easily found, although it is hidden
frOm view by the church, the trees, and'
the dense growth of shrubbery by which It
is surrounded. I wish to send you there
on an important mission, and if you aro
successful, you shall be well paid for your
work."
The beggar's eyes twinkled, and ho lean
ed forward, listening attentively.
" What am I to do ?" ho asked.
"Listen, and I will tell you. Twenty
one years ago the rector of that parish per
formed the marriage ceremony for a young
couple, who came one evening to the par
sonage. They were in a coach, and without
witnesses.
Being strangers, and tho reverend gen
tleman thinking the affair a strange ono for
respectable people to be connected with, be
at first refused to unite the youthful pair;
but when the bridegroom handed him a
purse, well filled with gold, his conscien
tious scruples vanished, and he bade them
follow him to the church. There the cere
mony was performed, the sexton and his
wife being summoned to witness it. After
they were made man and wife, they do
parted, neither of them taking a certificate.
Their marriage was doubtless registered,
and I wont to bo satisfied on that impor
tent ,Point, on 'which so much depends.
About two years ago I went to see the
old sexton, and after he had taken me
:arough the church, and shown me the
vaults beneath, I gave him a piece of gold,
asking him if I would be allowed the priv
ilege of examining the church register.
He gazed at me a moment, sharply, in
quisitively, and then said :
You may see the book ; why shouldn't
you ?'
I didn't like the way in which he looked
at me, nor the chuckling laugh that es
caped his lips as he shuffled clown the aisle.
He went into the vestry, and presently re
turned, bearing a large volume under his
arm, which he handed me. The book was
new, and after opening it, I handed it back,
telling him I wished to seo the old one.
• Ah, what a pity!' exclaimed the weasel
faced little imp ; the old book has been
torn in pieces to kindle fires with, and there
is nothing left but the title page, the cover
and the clasps. lam very sorry, for
doubtless you wanted to find something
very much Mr. Aubrey.'
I started. How did lie know my name?
That was what- puzzled me.
It is very wonderful to me that either
the rector or yourself should destroy that
book, as neither of you had any right to do
so, and both of you should have known
better.'
He laughed :wain, that low, chuckling
laugh.'
' It was not I or [he rector who destroyed
it, but. my wife; she, poor creature, can
neither read or write, and imagining the
register was nothing but an old account
book, or ledger, of no use to any one in the
world, she pulled out the leaves to kindle
the fire with, a' most every morning. I'm
very sorry, sir ; but it can't be helped, and.
accidents will happen, you know.'
I thought then he was telling a false
hood,and I departed without saying another
word.'
' I chanced to meet a friend about a week
ago, who had been on a visit to the old sex
ton, and. I learned from him the register
had not been destroyed, but that it is
atiorig other books, on a shelf, in the

ilic beggar final listened attentively to
ali s his companion said, and when he ended,
old Grabby replied :
" I will get the book for you, rest as
sured. When do you want it 2"
"As soon as you can obtain possession of
it," said the gipsy.
"You shall have it in about a week, at
least ; and where shall I deliver it to you?"
"At the end of the week I will call here
after it, and if you have the book, you
shall receive a reward that will satisfy
you."
"All right," muttered the beggar, grin
ning, and rubbing his hard palms to
gether.
The storm that had raged so furiously had
passed away, and the moon rode high in
the heavens when the gipsy left the beg
gar's abode.
Old Grabby stood at the head of the stairs,
holding the candle high above his head,
until his visitor had groped his way to the
bottom ; then ho went back to his squalid,.
dirty room, and bolted the door. He threw
hinigraf on the bed, but slumber did not
close his eyelids—terrific images glided
about through the darkness—frightful
visions haunted him, and at last, unable to
drive away these creations of a guilty con-
Selene°, he sprung out on the floor, shiver
ing in terror, striking with his clenched
hands at the imaginary phantoms that were
tormenting him.
Morn found him dozing in his chair, with
the candle flickering, and dying in the
socket of the greasy candlestick that stood
on the table at his side. Haggard, hollow
eyed wretch, sitting there with the dark
stain of murder on thy soul ! Hoary-head
ed villain ! Thine earthly race is almost
ended, and the grave is even now yawning
to receive thee. Slumber on, but the dread
awakening must come at last. Oh! pure
heavenly sunlight ! Bright golden beams,
how can ye kiss so softly the murderer's
wrinkled brow ?
CHAPTER XIII
ANOPX wcinDs—LOVE AND 11.E.SOLUTIuN
A carriage has just stopped before Mr.
O'Gratly's door. It is Sir Richard Berke
ley's carriage. The old gentleman and his
nephew have alighted, and now "they aro
standing on Mr. O'Grady's stoop, waiting
to be admitted. Sir Richard is evidently
excited and agitated, whilo Charles is only
impatient hoc:luso the servant. is so long in
coming to admit them. Charles has a nar
now strip•of plaster on the bridge of his
nose, and his right eye is bidden by a green
shade.
"Confound the tardiness of servants ! I
suppose we shall be kept standing hero
half an hour before one of them comes,"
exclaimed the young officer, as ho adjust
ed the troublesome shade. " RI ng, or knock
again, Uncle Dick."
" Hush ! some person is coining; don't
draw it so far down, Charles. There—
that's better ; be careful when you take off
your hat."
Mr. O'Grady opened the door himself.
He had seen the carriage when it arrived,
and he had hastened to meet his visitors.
The good natured Irishman extended his
hand to Sir Richard, saying,
" You aro welcome; walk in, fur I'm
really honored be Lavin' you put yer fut
inside me door."
. " My nephew, sir."
O'Grady bowed stiffly. lie hated the
young officer at first sight.
They were ushered into the brown pan
eled parlor, and soon seated in two antique
oak chairs. Sir Richard liked the looks of
the place ; his nephew hated the room and
everything in it, and a contemptuous smile
curled his lip when he observed a large
piece of bog turf, standing on end, in the
very centre of the mantel ornaments. The
furniture, though old fashioned, was taste
fully arranged, and the paintings that
adorned the walls were good, some of them
valuable.
":That's a fine mornin','" remarked Mr.
O'Grady, as ho planted his feet firmly on
the rug that laid before the grate, and fold
ed his arms carelessly.
" A beautiful morning," assented Sir
Richard, moving his gouty leg uneasily.
"I suppose dhat you've come to ax dim
young lady will she go back to Berkeley
Hall," said O'Grady..
"We have come to take her back," Put
in Charles.
"I was spakin' to, yer uncle, young
man."
Charles Berkeley's face crimsoned with
rage. He was on the point of uttering an
angry exclamation, when Sir Richard
checked him.
" Silence !" thundered his uncle; "we
want none of your interference in this mat
ter at all ; you are too hasty by fur. Mr.
O'Grady and myself can settle our affairs,
without the aid of a third party."
" Do you think that I'm a damn'd fool? "
exclaimed the young man, starting to his
feet, his eyes Bashing indignantly ; "settle
your own affairs, and go to the devil, both
of you! I won't sit here and be Insulted by
you and that bog trotter ! Uncle Dick, you
have made my lather your enemy, and
now you have insulted his son ; henceforth
we are strangers."
Ile seized his hat and rushed from the
house, without heeding Sir Richard's calls
for him to come back. The door closed
with a shock behind him that echoed
through the whole house.
"A bold, bad man, and a good horse
whipping is what he needs," said Sir
Richard ; and his father is just like him ;
wilful, passionate, hasty, unforgiving. Mr.
O'Grady, I am ashamed of my nephew's
conduct. He has insulted you, and I can
say nothing in his behalf. lain exceeding
ly grieved. May I break my neck at the
next fox hunt if the unmannerly whelp
isn't sorry for his conduct before he dies !
'Time dims the splendor of a crown,
And brings the loftiest rampart down,'
and time will humble him, remember what
lam telling you, Mr. O'Grady. I'm fa
miliar with the poets, you perceive."
" ; you tould me dhat before, whin I
was at dho Hall. Don't be troublin' your
head about dhat young divil at all, fur he
isn't worth a thought; an' ho has no more
dacincy or manners Lilian a tinker, so he
hasn't. I hope dhat he hasn't consaved
fur Miss May, has he ?"
"Really I dont know; I hope the girl
don't fancy him, for I love her as though
sho were my own child, and I never would
consent to a marriage between them—
never."
" An do you think dhat a Berkeley, who
is an officer in the ' Guards' would consent
to marry a gipsy girl? No, sir; he has
other ideas in bees head forbye makin' a
wife o' her, mind dhat 1 It's a mistiness
he'd be makin' o' her, dhat is, if dhe cra
ther was simple, and didn't understand
him. Englishmen are dhe divil's own do
savers, an' many a man I cud mintiou if I
liked, who, although hearin' a respectable
name, an' goin' in dhe best society, are
hotter fitted fur dhe lowest associations.
Thank God ! it's not so bad in ould Ire
land, where even among dhe poor an' ig
noiant dhey're taught decency. I mane no
ottince, sir; don't think it."
t
" Therein:, gepd I:1 4n in all countries, and
y tt can find them in every sphere and
grade of society, and there are also many
who are bad," remarked Sir Richard, calm
ly; "but iu great cities like London, where
the population is so great, a person sees
more crime and licentiousness in one week
p
over all the land for a year. There is no
race of men braver than Englishmen—
there is no country that can boast of fairer
or in ore virtuous daughters than old Eng
land."
" Savin' Ameriky, where (the English
got hammered like dho divil ; where dho
girls are all angels, I'm tould—but I mane
no offince, ho dho bones of me auchestors,
didn't."
Sir Richard loved • his country, and what
wretch is so low that he does not? But
the words of his blunt and honest compan
ion irritated and galled him. O'Grady had
unwittingly, in his allusion to America,
given him a home thrust ; he had touched a
tender spot and the proud old man was un
able to reply. Ms face was crimson with
rage, and he hitched about uneasily on his
chair, rubbing his gouty leg as 'though it
pained him.
O'Grady evidently enjoyed his visitor's
chagrin and mortification, for a smile stole
over his rubicund face, and his eyes
twinkled with satisfaction.
Sir Richard mustered his emotion, and
was about to speak, but O'Grady, cut him
short by saying:
"I will go and tell Miss May that you're
waitin' to see her.
" If you please," growled Sir Richard
c
Tho door was opened softly, but Sir
Richard did not Lear it, for ho sat with his
forehead resting on his hands, lost in
thought. A girlish form glided to his side
and a sweet voice said :
"Poor old guardie; you have come all
the way from Berkeley Hall to see me,
havn't you ?"
He raised his bead slowly. She saw that
he had l'nen weeping. Gently she pushed
Ilte thin gray locks from his brow—the
brow that looked so care-worn—and then
clasping her arms about his neck, she
leaned down end kissed him.

"But you will go back with me, and
make my home happy again, for I am very

" No—no—no—l cannot while Blanch() is

here, where everybody is so kind. If
Blanche should marry somo rich gentle
man, and ho took her away to livo with
him, then, when you are all alone, I Will
come back again, but not now."
" Blanche will never marry, for no man
would want her for a companion, after be
coming acquainted with her. I shall not
have the good luck to lose her."
" Don't Charles Berkeley love his cousin,
guardie ?"
"\o, child; I almost suspect that my
nephew has taken a fancy to you."
" To me!" She disengaged herself from
his embrace, and looked steadily. at him.
" To me," she repeated ; " Charles Berke
ley love a poor gipsy girl, guardie ? What
mean you? Did he tell you this ?"
" Yes May, he did."
"And are you foolish enough to believe
such a tale as this? Oh, Guardio ! have
you become a child again? Suppose that
ho did love me, would his proud father
grant his consent to an alliance so dishon
orable? Would Sir Richard Berkeley like
to see • his handsome and accomplished
nephew, the only male heir to the estates
and titles of a great house, leading to the
altar the daughter of a man who belongs to
a detested and persecuted race? No—no—

Berkeley's words; and now I hate him.
No persuasion could induce me to return
to Berkeley Mil, whore I should be perse
cuted by the Lady Blanche, and forced to
meet your nephew. I love you, Sir
Richard, but you will go home without
me."
Sir Richard was astounded at her words,
evincing as thOY dill so much keenness
of perception, for one who was-unused to
the world and its deceptions. She evident=
ly considered Charles Berkeley a flatterer,
and instinctively regarded his intentions
as dishonorable towards her.
For several moments the old man gazed
thoughtfully down at the figures that were
interwoven in the carpet at his feet, prz
zled, troubled, perplex . ed, unable to speak.
At length 'he looked up, saying, "My
nephew is honest in what ho says; I have
never found him in a falsehood. I am in
clined to think you judge him too harshly,
May."
" Perhaps I do," she said, musingly;
" but I cannot.help it, guardie. I have a
dislike to him for which I can assign no
reaSen—for which I cannot account to my
self: I did not 'like him when I was at
child; I did not like him when we met
after the lapse of years, and I am certain
that time will never eradicate my impres
sions. But why discuss this distasteful and
unimportant topic? Wo have' not met to
dissect the character of Charles Berkeley,
and analyze its ingredients, have we?" •
"No—no—no," growled Sir Richard ;
came here to get you to go home
_with me,
and lam grieved to think you ,are so un
grateful as to refuSe."
"Ungrateful!" for a moment the color
forsook her cheeks, and tears trembled on
her eyelids. " Ungrateful ; no, lam not,
Guardia; you wrong me, for God knows I
am truly grateful for all you have done for
me . since I was plac'ed under your care and
protection, a helpless child. You have
been a kind, indulgent father to me for
many long years, when I had no one else
to love or care for me ; and I can never
repay you for all you have done ; but in my
heart there is a fount of pure love, of holy
affection, and from that fount bright waters
are unceasingly flowing out to thee, bear
ing a rich argosy of reverence, lov'e:and
gratitude ; a precious gift:that is all thine
own. Oh, my more than father! Afy
friend—my. counselor—my guardian—my
protector—my guide ! ' Forgive me for
leaving the house that was my shelter for
so many years !_forgive me for wishing to
remain where lam ! Pity_ me—pardon me
—for the poor gipsy girl will never return
to the home where her heart was crushed
and broken." ."
She fell on her knees beside him, and her
dark eyes sparkled like diamonds as she
looked up,through her tears..
Softly the old man's hand rested on her
head. His fingers trembled as they gently
pushed the hair from her brow. Ho bent
down and kissed her cheek, his silvery
locks mingling with her own, like a moon
beam smiling amid darkness. For a mo
ment she clasped him in a close embrace,
their tears falling silently ; then ho disen
gaged himself from her arms and left her,

his brow.

She remained kneeling beside the chair.,
with her face half buried in the crimson
velvet cushion, sobbing as though her heart
would break.
Will you go home with Guardie, my
child'? I sin asking you for the last time,"
Lo said.
"I cannot! I cannot!
He waited to hear no more.
Sho heard the door close behind him ;
she heard the rumbling of wheels zts the
carriage rolled away, and then, overpower
ed by grief and the violence of contending
emotions, she fell fainting on the floor.
" My home will be lonely now," sighed
Sir Richard, as he leaned bock in his car
riage ; when her sweet voice shall echo no
more in its old halls. I loved her because
she reminded me of poor, lost Madeline;
and now since she has left me, I wouldn't
core much if I should break my neck at
the nest fox hunt.

The Husband.
Ladies sometimes do not value their hus

the first time by the loss of him. Yet the
husband is the very roof-tree of the house,
the corner-stone of the edifice, the keystone
of the arch called (ionic. Ile is the bread
winner of tho family, its defence and its
glory, the beginning and ending of the
golden chain of life which surrounds it, its
consoler, its law-giver and its king. And
yet we see.how frail is that life on which
much depends. How frail is the life of the
husband and father! When he is taken away
who shall fill his place ? When ho is sick,
what gloomy clouds hover over the house !
When ho is dead, what darkness, weeping,
agony ! Then poverty, like the murderous
assassin, breaks in at tho window ; starva
tion, like a famishing wolf, howls at tho
door. Widowhood is too often the associate
of sackcloth and ashes. Orphanhood too
often means desolation and woo.
